#c: jeanne d'arc

[biggerbagingos]

Boy!Jeannes are forbidden from not nutting at least four times oer day because the last time they tried to abstain from cumming, every wonan in the Singularity got knocked up from proximity to them...

Their cum is so potent that just a single drop near your womb is enough to get you pregnant. It doesn't even have to make it inside you. This only really becomes a "problem" if they're not properly pleasured throughout the day and the semen isn't contained within someone's body or a condom.

Those nine months after that singularity must've been very fun for Gudako and Mash, since they obviously don't reset like the people in the singularity do. By the end, everyone had to be forced to use protection since the (incredibly spacious) maternity ward was completely filled by their massive bellies.

Polish nobility in Gdańsk by Wilhelm August Stryowski, c. 1900:

propaganda: I feel like art from Gdańsk isn’t talked about enough and this painting just speaks to me in a way. It’s refering to the golden age of the city at the same time showing the disparities between the rich and the poor. Also the old man on the left could be the artist himself.

about the artist: Wilhelm August Stryowski was a painter from Gdańsk. In 1872 he founded the City Museum in the same building which now houses the National Museum of Gdańsk!

Jeanne D'Arc Headcanons [Clone High]

Been getting Joan of Arc on my TT recently and the song 'Bigmouth Strikes Again' and I saw someone say they wanted to write for it & now I do too [Clone High x Non Clone! Reader is in the works] TW: Threatening Su!c!de

Joan is usually calm and collected, but when she's with you, she gets nervous and doesn't know how to speak

She acts very irrationally around you, anyone can see it

She laughs at all your jokes, even if they're stupid

She's very fidgety around you

She's always trying to get your attention and for you to notice her

She thinks very highly of you and thinks that you both deserve each other

If you're dating another Clone, she's jealous and it shows

She'll see you together and slam her locker door as she glares

She tries to turn against your lover

She's a scornful women, so I wouldn't double cross her if I were you

She worships you the same way her Clone-mother worshiped god

She tries to get over you and move on, but she can't get you off her mind

You take over every single part of her life. Everything she does she's reminded of you

You can ask her for anything and she'll do it for you

I feel like if you broke up with her, she would TP/Egg your house or slash your tires. Maybe even key and scratch up your car

She gives that crazy girl vibe

She stares at you very intently, not even realizing it, which kind of freaks you out

She shares her music with you and asks for your opinions

She values what you think and takes your words very seriously

Stalker! Stalker! She is 100% a stalker. You have this paranoid that someone is watching you, but everytime you turn around, no one is there. Jokes on you, she hid and is covering her mouth while her heart beat rushes. She can't believe she's following you

^She knows it's creepy, but she can't stop herself

Would threaten to off herself if you ever leave her

^She's probably bluffing, but you're not willing to take that chance

You care about Joan, but she's overwhelming and smothering

Sometimes she forgets you have feelings too and only thinks about herself

^ If you call her out on it, she's offended, but will try and be more considerate of you

Miraculous Fic Recs

Recently I've been complaining a lot on the internet how sucky the recent seasons of ML have been, and how much better the old fanfics are; I'm going to prove my point by sharing my tried-and-true rec list. Here we go.

Back To Us - Written in 2017, so some things are inaccurate. Basically Marinette, as Ladybug, kills Gabriel Agreste on accident by pushing him off the Eiffel Tower and Adrien moves to Milan. Seven years later Marinette is a rising fashion designer, her long-lost partner comes back seven years later but hot, and a new Hawkmoth shows up on the very day Adrien comes back. Suspicious. INCLUDES: Antihero!Chat. Alternate superhero names for Alya, Nino + there are only seven miraculouses which honestly I like a lot better than Ladybug just busting another one out whenever she feels like it. At one point, it was the longest fic in the fandom but now it's not even close. 446k. Requires an Ao3 account to read.

Second Chances- Again, written fairly early in the fandom. Adrien is a single dad and Alya volunteers Marinette to be his daughter's nanny - the premise sounds like it could turn out really weird but I promise it's not. Adorable adorable. INCLUDES: Past ChloexAdrien and MarinettexNathanael, and Adrien never went to school. Reverse best friends (Alya + Adrien, Mari + Nino). 105k.

Whose Woods These Are (I Think I Know) - Ladrien Cinderella AU. Super well-written in a kind of fairytale style. I honestly love this fic. 105k.

Spotty Connections - Adrienette texting fic (no miraculous AU, but does incorporate LadyNoir). Tikki & Plagg are M&A's cats. One of my favorites ever. 66k.

Film It - Adrien is a youtuber! Soon all of Twitter ships #adrienette. INCLUDES: Gabriel Agreste's A+ Parenting. Endgame Adrienette. Superheroes exist, but LB & CN aren't a huge part of this. Also worthy of note: #thatfoursome and a decent amount of Twitter formatting. This has pretty much everything I want in an Adrienette fic. 56k.

Chasing The C/h/atwalk - Project Runway AU. Marinette is a designer and Adrien... is her model. Shenanigans ensue. INCLUDES: Some LadyNoir, mostly after the identity reveal. #MarinetteInDenial. 100k. I love this fic.

Lucky Us - No Miraculous email AU. See Spotty Connections: LadyNoir incorporated without the actual superheroes. Fluff with a tiny bit of angst but still happy ending. 136k.

Secret Santa - fluff. Pure fluff; classic in the fandom. A bit cheesy and very outdated but very nice. Time for a reread. It has a sequel called New Year's Ball. 52k.

Être Majeur - horror, AU, fairly short, creepy and strange but really well-written. 24k. M for horror elements.

La Pucelle Et La Coccinelle - Absolute favorite. Explores Joan of Arc (Jeanne d'Arc in this story) with the Ladybug Miraculous. INCLUDES: Actual historical references, lore for the miraculouses, and a flashforward to the future at the end with Marinette. 38k. I have it printed out, I love it so much.

Pray For the Children You Lost Along the Way - Silent Hill AU (Emilie Anderson from the arcade game is Adrien's mom). It has been on hiatus since 2019, but is still worth a read because so many things tie together in a satisfying way. 86k. Rated M b/c of Silent Hill-type things.

Under Lock and Key - Huge classic also published on Wattpad. Author/artist collab with Maerynn & EdenDaphne - Maerynn passed away while the fic was being written and ED finished it. Very nice art by ED. I view this fic as the quintessential 2017 era Adrienette fic. Very sweet and fluffy. 34k.

Tripped at Fencing - Gabriel hits Adrien. INCLUDES: Gabriel Agreste's A+ Parenting. Accidental identity reveal (Marinette finds out first). Only 5k but a classic.

The Butterfly and Her Brother series (Generations Past and Future) - written c. 2016. Gabriel is NOT Hawkmoth; Gabriel is not a villian in the least so technically OOC. First couple are set in the 1990s, then a couple in ~2016 and the latest in like 2044. I haven't read the last one in the series but WHATHGAWAATG (Europe gets taken over), featuring the next gen of Agrestes, is really good as well. Many things are outdated/false as this was written based off of s1, but I honestly like this interpretation of the Miraculous much better than how the show does it. Mama Agreste's name is Adele (again, s1) and I quite like her character. I freaking LOVE this series. I have it downloaded to my phone and I reread it when I'm feeling sad. 340k in total, but the longest work in the series is about 166k. SO many kudos.

a fight that you were born to lose - "Adrien finds out that Gabriel is Hawkmoth, and Gabriel gets to bring his long-waited plan into action." TW abuse, emotional manipulation, forced dieting. Gabriel Agreste's A+ Parenting. Fairly short for how well-rounded it is - 17k.

An Impromptu Proposal - what it says on the tin. Reverse love square kinda: Ladynoir requited love bc Adrien never went to school. Includes identity reveal and Hawkmoth!Lila takedown. 33k.

On The Prowl - Criminal CN. Also on ffn.net. Good story and TOTALLY a classic, but also uses 'ravenette' and 'sapphire orbs' unironically. The writing is okay if a little melodramatic. 53k.

Chat Noir's White French Man Hit List For Feminist Purposes - pretty much what it says on the tin. Sentimonster!Adrien. 7.8k.

i think it's time i told you (i'm a fan of your universe) - ladynoir proposal. v v nice. Just 5k. Smidge of angst.

The Ladyblog Comment Section - what it says on the tin. 27k. Hilarity and crack.

spark - Tinder AU. Lots of Marichat. Angst with a happy ending. 49k. Slow burn w/ eventual identity reveal.

all dressed up and nowhere to go - No Miraculouses modern royalty AU - human Tikki and Plagg. Mostly DJWifi but a mild amount of adrienette and a smidge of chlogami. Includes arranged marriage Adrien x Alya but they don't end up together. "Twenty-five-year-old Marinette is a wedding dress designer, business blooming in her trusty shop, Ladybug Bridal. When the engagement of Prince Adrien Agreste and Ancient Princess Alya Césaire is announced, all she expects is an influx of work. What she gets instead is... a bit different." 35k.

tangled ribbons - Ao3. ballet/dance AU (no miraculous). Adrienette with some DJWifi and human Tikki & Plagg. "Marinette is a small studio dancer who wins a scholarship to a summer long ballet intensive. Adrien is a famous ballet dancer who would rather be at home than at said intensive. The end of the summer will bring about a showcase that could make Marinette's career, if she can ignore Chloé and focus on something other than Adrien." 82k. The slowest of burns.

Where timing is kind to us - Ao3. marichat discusses quantum physics. 4.3k. This is a beautiful one-shot with a one-sided reveal.

Hey can Servants get a normal human pregnant

it’s not impossible, but they normally can’t impregnate nor get pregnant, no.

In Fate/Apocrypha, Jeanne d'Arc says that because they have spiritual bodies it should be impossible for a Servant to get pregnant, but they might be able to if they are incarnated or possessing a human body.

"W-Well, it's... not impossible, I suppose. But a Servant's body are spiritual in nature to begin with, so unless a Servant is truly incarnated, such a feat would be practically a miracle."

to be fair this is technically just what one character is saying and it’s talking about getting pregnant and not impregnating, but it’s consistent with what we know about servant bodies and should apply both ways around. they���re spirit bodies, so they’re normally functionally sterile.

that aside, i don’t think we were ever explicitly told how the one servant who canonically did get pregnant via a human (izanami in fate/requiem) actually achieved it. id seen speculation that it was incarnation, a host body, or even just some kind of divine authority unique to her. so to get pregnant or get someone pregnant, they’d have to:

A. be physically incarnated somehow, like via the grail

B. have a host body like jeanne in apoc or other such pseudo servant stuff (but i believe the baby would then just technically have half of the host body’s genetics, and not ‘theirs’, if that makes it weird)

C. achieve some secret third thing that bypasses it

Ooooh thank you for playing with me! I enjoyed your answers!

You write both Ed and Stede beautifully, but I totally get what you mean about getting into Ed's hornet's nest!

Funny, I don't really listen to music as I write because I get too distracted, but I love linking songs to scenes. Weird.

Awww... I'm freakishly proud that my words could make you cry. You'll never know how much your comments and support mean to me.

I made myself cry when I finished AWoTT because I hate the last few chapters. They did a real disservice to the story because I rushed and tried to write something readers would like instead of what I'd done for most of it. On top of that, I ruined the Buttons/Jeanne d'arc ending because I worried that it would seem like I was ripping off the show. They were both supposed to turn into birds. I can't face trying to fix it. (If you haven't read the end, don't waste your time, and if you did and were disappointed we are on the same page.)

Eeek! Sorry for the ramble... xoxoxo

Before I get to the actual reply to this ask: if y'all haven't been treated to A World of Tempestuous Things, one of the top-five best fics in the fandom, I'm gonna need you to drop everything and read it the way I did whenever I got a notification that a new chapter had been posted.

Re: the ask itself:

I'm sorry you're dissatisfied with how it turned out but if it's any consolation it felt like a fitting end to me! The first time I tried to read the final chapter I literally couldn't for all the tears in my eyes because I knew it was ending. I no longer have a neutral relationship with any of the songs you used for the section titles, especially "Don't Dream It's Over" because god if that didn't just get at the root of everything I felt about the fact that your fic existed. I miss your versions of Ed and Stede terribly and it's gonna be a tall order for anyone but David Jenkins to make them half so indelible to me. I felt like I was watching actual people I loved sail away forever.

I started reading it around when it was halfway through I think? It shouldn't have immediately worked for me when I first started. I was burning out a bit on reunion fics and I thought of myself as someone who didn't love when fics had too many OCs and those OCs got a lot of time in the story, not to mention my strict no-WIP rule, but whatever made me read it must have been fate or something. That and the reflectiveness of the characters and the times the prose knocked me off my feet and the usually gutting historical interstitials (I still think about/am haunted by the Chopin one at least once a week) and the lines I took screenshots of to send to my therapist. It's so much greater than the sum of its parts, and fiction like that can change things about a person's preconceived notions and personal tastes forever.

If I tried to list the things about it that are going to stay with me well, it would literally be easier for everyone if I just c/p the entire fic into this reply. It felt like such a journey that readers got to go on with both the characters and with the story on a like, metatextual level? It completely changed my relationship with high-quality WIPs. Now that I'm writing my first longfics I'm thinking about character and framing devices and POV voice in entirely new ways because I was fortunate enough to get the chance to read it. It's criminal that it's not in the top 5 most read fics in the fandom and I will not stop recommending it until that happens.

Even if you're not happy with the ending I think your readers are. This reader certainly is. And if you did want to go back and change it someday I have zero doubts that I'll be happy with that too. The fandom is richer for having your work in it.

HC's for the Chapter 14 Bayo Variants

Someone went into the files and found the renders for the chapter 14 bayo variants so i wanted to make some HC's and story ideas for them. I hope you all like them <3

(Viola - Bayonetta) - Years after her fight with singularity, she has grown to be a mature true dominatrix. Studying abroad at the University of Vigrid to learn about her family history, and to make her mummy proud. (I like to think she shows up in Bayo3 as a way of telling her mom she's got this)

(Cutie C) - The leader of the magical witch group The Cutie Scouts. Aiming to bring justice in the name of the Umbra! A mysterious woman, no one knows her true identity outside of her duty as a Cutie Scout.

(Kassogtha) A witch of the eldritch. In order for her to have her pacts, she had to give up her eyes. Despite her lack of eyesight, this witch is still very deadly and her demons could even bring fear to Gomorrah.

(Sakura) A Witch born of Japanese royalty. This witch is known for her love for nature and has a huge garden near her home, although her plants are very dubious looking. She has a very kind but somewhat sadistic heart.

Ok lol that's all of them! Let me know what y'all think! :3 <3

On this day in 1431 Jeanne d'Arc, known in her village as Jehanette, was burned at the stake without the mercy of strangulation by the English civil authorities in Rouen, France for the stated crime of heresy. She was 19 years old. She was canonized by the Catholic Church in 1920; today is her feast day. (St. Jeanne by Kay Nielsen c 1914)

WATCHING THE MESSENGER: THE STORY OF JOAN OF ARC (what a mouthful) FINAL THOUGHTS (sort of, I'm never done with Jeanne D'arc):

so the thing that's interesting about this one is that in writing her young and inexperienced which she was and also wrapped into this movie's depiction of womanhood and in the way it writes mental health is that she's got this sort of "idek what i'm doing or what the consequences are" vibe to her a lot of the time, especially after the first big battle and she sees all the corpses around her and has a meltdown followed by what seems to be dissociation for pretty much the whole rest of the film until her death

and the other thing is the things it chooses to play very straight and the things it does very differently -- so the killing of her sister in the beginning, which gives an early trauma to hearken back to and an added "impetus" for her to go to war, and which never happened vs the very specific sources it chose to deal with for her relationship to gender presentation (shocker i'm going into that), opting to nearly totally brush past it until the scene where she's "forced" to wear men's clothing again and gets burned for it -- which there is, to be clear, textual evidence that she wasn't given other clothes while incarcerated and did get judged for that, but also noticeably didn't include any of the other writing related to her visions telling her to wear men's clothing and this movie heavily mixing joan's visions with her as someone who's got a mental health issue of some kind, it's interesting that this snag of the clothing was mainly done away with, because it's a film that doesn't totally engage with her as someone with agency. she's mad, you see. that is the focal point. and what does "wearing men's clothings because the visions told me to" have to do with this madness? nothing, in fact it's kind of... not-very-mad-seeming

which is interesting as a counterpoint to a version i saw in the globe, which kind of went "an interpretation of joan as ye olde non-binary and also a lesbian" (this is flippantly written for brevity's sake, it was doing more than that, but that is the gist) which i did enjoy for the way it brought together a massive community of trans and nb theatre-goers within the globe and really felt like it was more for us than for joan, which i had struggles with because it went so far into the other direction of making everything a bit too modern for me. a bit too "joan's doing these choices with the idea that one day men's clothing will become allowed and joan has an internal sense of gender that coheres with modern sensibilities," and being a little timid around the religious and vision-y side of things

which is the crux of joan. you probably won't get a version that you're totally satisfied with, because joan As Figure encapsulates so many seeming paradoxes that we project ourselves onto. there's a distinct messiness to her that is very human in a way you don't always feel to quite this extent with mythos -- probably because of those court records and the subsequent early writings and the fact that she was nineteen years old when she was killed and it wasn't really that long ago comparatively

I think this movie struggled under the weight of that humanity, not for lack of trying to show it, but a. because of whatever personal bias besson went in with (which included basically stealing the project from kathryn bigelow and casting his then-wife mila jovovich, so youknow. there's some Vibes inherent in that already, and i do think bigelow could have done much more with both the feminism and the action, both of which were very uneven in this version imo) b. because of whatever other weird choices were made (i still think it was incredibly ugly-looking and many of the actors were flat -- not you, vincent cassel you were great) and c. because a movie possibly can't do it justice in the first place idk. we'll keep searching

obvs the passion of joan of arc is a masterclass. but it manages to get around a lot of these issues by essentially being all about the trial and a study of one of the most evocative faces ever put to silent film -- now that's giving "because the visions told me to"!
